19 – 476 The Audio Montage
If a clip effect has been added, the number [1] is displayed before the clip
name. This is to indicate that one active effect slot is used for that clip. For
track effects, the number of active effect slots currently used is shown in
the “Add effect slot” button.
You can add effects during playback. However, if you add an effect with a
latency larger than zero (displayed to the right in the Effect dialog, see “La-
tency” on page 479), you should stop and restart playback to avoid timing
discrepancies.
Also, a small number of VST plug-ins may change latency depending on pa-
rameter settings. If that is the case, make sure to stop and restart playback
after the latency is changed.
Removing an effect from a slot
You can’t actually manually remove created effect slots, only the slot’s ef-
fect. Here’s what you do:
1. To remove a clip effect from a slot, open the clip speed menu and select
the effect you want to remove from a slot.
To remove a track effect from a slot, click the “Add effect slot” button (in
the Track Control area) and select the effect you want to remove from a
slot from the menu that appears.
The effect window opens.
2. Click on the “Effects” button, and select “Remove” from the pop-up menu
that appears.
The effect is removed from the slot. You can now either select a new effect for the slot or
leave the slot unused.
• You can also remove effects from slots in the Plug-ins view – see “Man-
aging effects in the Plug-ins view” on page 483.
Unused slots are automatically removed the next time WaveLab is launched,
and do not consume any CPU power.
